Because the latest version of sendmail uses a different file-naming
system it wouldn't run with the RaQ gui.  Though I can't say for certain
about qpopper and apache, I think with apache, anyway, it could be an
issue.  Cobalt's apache is configured Cobalt's way, just like my apache
is compliled my way.

You can't do this with a generic box and something like Plesk either;
the other good web-based interfaces have their own limitations.

I'd say if you want to keep an up-to-date box, choose your Linux or BSD
flavor and keep it updated yourself.
